Chapter 69 Corrupted Crab and Cicada
In the distance, the rotten swamp was soaked with the corpses of a large number of creatures. The swamp was not big, only the size of two football fields. Such a sudden rotten swamp just popped up on the barren plain. It was hard not to believe that this was a temporary plot added by the system.
The disgusting stench emanating from it, the large number of gray hills covered with silt, and the breath of death lingering in the swamp had overflowed into the air. From a distance, a layer of light gray fog covered the swamp.
The monster beast infantry unit closest to him was lurking in this rotten swamp.
From the situation in the field of vision, this environment is basically undead monster infantry, but now it is impossible to tell what type of monster infantry it is lurking in the swamp.
There is no glass pre-technology, and reconnaissance depends entirely on vision. At this time, the research and development path of a normal lord can point out some feudal era technology. His development is quite unconventional, rather than the normal lord's slow improvement.
Before the battlefield situation is determined, Ji Lin will not take the risk of pulling his troops to the front line with himself.
The army of 500 units moves slowly, and he is in a dilemma when encountering unexpected situations. He must first take his generals to scout the surroundings to avoid interference with his battle.
The best way to obtain the best information on the front line is to have a front-line commander directly obtain battlefield intelligence. This is the simplest and most direct way to allow the commander to have the highest information rights on the battlefield at any time, and the orders issued can be directly transmitted to each unit without complicated transmission.
The troops under such a front-line commander will show amazing flexibility and...
lethality on the battlefield.
The role played by the commander on the front line is far better than those who just want to sit in the command tent thousands of miles away.
The price is that the casualty rate will be significantly higher than the latter.
Not everyone has the courage to face death.
Do you want to give up this strange infantry location? Find new monster infantry to hunt in another place.
He is used to abbreviating monster infantry as strange infantry.
Ji Lin squatted in the grass, continuing to observe the invisible...
Wait, are there so many small hills of similar size in the swamp?
Those small mounds of earth protruding from the swamp were covered with various black muds. Looking at those small hills moving slowly in the quagmire, Ji Lin smiled.
After he confirmed that the strange steps were those small moving mounds of earth, the information prompt from the system finally arrived.
[Corrupted Magic Crab (Monster Infantry)]
[3-Rare]
[Melee Defense]: 45
[Moving Speed]: 10km/h
[Armor Strength]: 120
[Morale/Organization]: 45
[Weapon Power]: 80
[Features]:
Undead: This unit is an undead, will not flee, and will not be punished for morale/organization. But when morale is low, it will directly enter an unstable state and directly lose blood.
Ashes and smoke: The spell energy that maintains the undead's actions in the world has completely failed, so that it can only turn into a wisp of dust in the end. When the defeat is certain, the unit will directly receive extremely serious damage until death.
Concealment: This unit can be in a relatively concealed state in a variety of complex terrains (woodlands, diving, swamps, etc.).
Resist Charge (Large): This unit will reduce the charge bonus of large units when the formation is neat.
[These deadly, dangerous arthropods lurk in the swamp and tear to pieces any creature that dares to approach them! ]
Corrupted Magic Crabs, there are twelve small mounds in the rotten swamp. Are there twelve Corrupted Magic Crabs lurking in this rotten swamp?
The 120 points of ultra-high armor make the units he carries in the troops except for the musketeers only cause low damage. When fighting against such things, the musketeers' long range and high armor penetration can reduce the impact of their high armor by aiming at the vulnerable joints.
As for the light crossbow with only a dozen points of weapon power, it can barely scrape out some insignificant damage after hanging the burning guard flag.
Ji Lin looked at the part of the Corrupted Magic Crab as big as a small van floating on the ground, and felt that even if he was filled with arrows, he might not be able to kill it.
Although spiders and crabs are both arthropods, his steam spider has two fewer claws than the Corrupted Magic Crab, and the penetration damage of high-temperature steam is not effective against this kind of monster infantry of the same level. But the small body of the steam spider is unlikely to withstand the two claws of the Corrupted Magic Crab.
After losing the command, the wild undead will only follow their instincts. Perhaps traps can be used to deal with these wild Corrupted Magic Crabs.
Just like he burned the skeleton before.
When Ji Lin was thinking about the plan to fight against the Corrupted Magic Crab, the hunting spider next to him suddenly made a sound of danger. As a scout, it keenly noticed the inappropriate smell in the air.
"Hiss-"
There are other people.
There are other lords like him, and they met each other by coincidence.
Sure enough, his decision not to bring troops here was correct.
Because of the ability of the scout spider hunter, he gained the initiative in the action, and often a surprise attack could determine the outcome of a short encounter.
He placed the troops one kilometer away, where he carefully selected the terrain based on his experience as a commander. It was behind the reverse slope of the mountain, and he could overlook the entire area with a wide field of vision.
There were no obstacles on the sloped terrain that overlooked the area, and any troops that dared to charge would fall in the crossfire.
Lowering his body and letting the bushes cover his figure, Ji Lin whispered to Chang Heng to exchange information.
Following the direction of the spider's head, their sight slightly passed through the bushes and saw a group of shield-bearing infantrymen wearing bright white thick armor maintaining a very neat marching formation and stepping on the ground to leave a very conspicuous mark. They held square shields in their left hands and sharp spears in their right hands.
The lord riding a tall white horse and wearing thick armor was strolling proudly on the grassland, walking at the forefront of the shield-bearing infantrymen, as if he was just here for a picnic.
At the end of the team, there was a group of light cavalrymen riding white horses like the lord before, holding long spears, with special sabers hanging on their waists. They were not wearing thick armor, and only light armor was hung on their horses. Ji Lin observed quietly and counted their number with Chang Heng.
I counted them and there were sixty of them.
With so many horses, it seems that he found a stable and successfully domesticated them. Otherwise, it would cost a huge sum of money just to buy these horses, and it would be extremely difficult to equip so many infantry with armor.
I am a little envious.
